I love this style: get the ball back quickly, then play possession with so many combinations. When you watch that, you get the feeling you want to go out on the pitch and play football with your friends and just enjoy yourself. City and Barcelona are great examples.

Normally, midfielders only pass the ball, but I dribble as well.

Barcelona have always been a dream club for me.

It is nice to be the most expensive Dutchman, and it is nice for my agent and for Ajax. But it does not matter to me whether I cost €5m or €150m or €200m. I just need to make sure that I do my own thing.

Frenkie de Jong

I try not to pay attention to talk of comparisons. I only want to focus on myself. It is good to hear that people are talking like that, but the truth is I am not at Cruyff's level of talent, and I never will be, so it is not something I think about.

Frenkie de Jong

I like to watch the great players, the ones who are technically good and understand the game. I try to see how they move.

Frenkie de Jong

Most good players play on intuition. Everyone has a little, but I don't know if you can learn it.

Frenkie de Jong

I have always been a midfielder, and I remain a midfielder.

Frenkie de Jong

My quality is my intuition. I can't just ignore that, can I? Then I'd be a player of whom there are a thousand of my age.

Frenkie de Jong

PSG would have been an excellent choice. They did everything to get me.

Frenkie de Jong

When I was in Barcelona, people thought I would join them, but that's not the case. Everyone knows that I think Barcelona is a beautiful club, but I don't know if I should see my career as a city trip.

Frenkie de Jong

If you end up at a superior club, you will play with world-class players all over the pitch.

Frenkie de Jong

When I am on the pitch, I play on intuition, but I think a lot about the game as well.

Frenkie de Jong

I think I was the last teenager to get WhatsApp.

Frenkie de Jong

I try to have a picture when I receive the ball and know where everyone is. That's one of the most important things for a midfielder.

Frenkie de Jong

I'd love to play with Ajax against Barcelona.

Frenkie de Jong

I already watched Barcelona as a kid, and then, when I was a bit more aware of the game, you had the Guardiola era with all their successes. That turned me into an even bigger fan.

Frenkie de Jong

It's not like I am going to Barcelona as a tourist who is there to watch Messi in action. I am not going to say that I will bench Busquets or anything! But I think I have a good chance of getting plenty of minutes.

Frenkie de Jong

For me, honestly, I would like to play with Messi one day.

Frenkie de Jong

Often I'd say I understood the coach, then do my own thing on the field.
